It's not a "great" debt ceiling debate. Are you kidding me? Any realist knows that Boehner and his crew don't want to limit the growth (or actually reduce the size) of government.

Neither party is interested in solving the financial problems of this country. Why? Because everyone wants the government to live within its means *except* when it comes to what I want. Nobody is willing to give up their preferred manifestation of big government.

Liberals want free contraceptives and subsidies for the lazy.
Conservatives want a huge and active world-dominating military and subsidies for their parents and grandparents who willfully neglected to save for retirement.

Until the conservative constituency figures out that we can't have SSI or Medicare,, and that we can't afford a Militaristic nation we have no argument against socialism.

And that's what it comes down to. Our Washington Republicans aren't against socialism. They're just want their ideas of socialism.

LAW ENFORCEMENT WHO ARE LOCATED IN STATES SUPPRESSING OUR 2ND AMENDMENT RIGHTS (LISTEN UP)!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Any and ALL law enforcement reps from said states please LEAVE that state Immediately!!
Call any state who supports our 2nd Amendment rights law enforcement agencies to see if they will take you in an give you guys a job. Send these left wing elitist sycophants a REAL message that law enforcement personnel from said stats will NOT tolerate this EXTREME VIOLATION of the Constitution they SWORE to protect. You OWE it to yourselves, to the Constitution AND the people you SERVE to GET out!! I hope many from Law Enforcement see this. Anyone else who reads this please stand with me in calling ALL Law Enforcement to abandon those states that CLEARLY violate our constitutional rights.

I am praying that God will put in the minds of every part of the United States Military to create a coup to fire Mister Obama, his ”Justice” Department, and every individual involved with them. I pray our Military will take this action to go back in time where we are “That Nation under God for Liberty and Justice for All”.
Place them all under arrest for “High Crimes and Misdemeanors”; and
Create a tribunal for that purpose and re-institute “The House Un-American Activities Committee.
I am praying that every true blooded American will join me in this prayer. Please repent of any sins you may be committing or committed and remember His Words of :
2Ch 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; THEN will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

As part of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 that was enacted in November of that year, the debt ceiling was suspended until March 15, 2017. As of March 16, 2017, the debt ceiling is now back in place, requiring Congress to take action to raise it by some time in Fall (likely October or November).

FreedomWorks is happy to announce that the Debt Limit Control and Accountability Act, H.R. 1529, introduced by Rep. Mark Sanford (R-S.C.) was selected as the Bill of the Month for May. The bill is co-sponsored by House Freedom Caucus Chairman Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) and was referred to the House Ways and Means Committee. It would put spending restrictions in place to hold our government accountable regarding financial decisions.

As one of over 6.9 million FreedomWorks activists nationwide, I urge you to call your representative and senators and demand that they vote against the disastrous “Bipartisan Budget Act”. Because this bill not only spends well in excess of the budget caps but also suspends the debt ceiling without any major spending reforms, this vote will be weighted double on our Online Congressional Scorecard.

Tick-tock, the debt ceiling deadline is fast approaching, leading, as ever, to the fevered warnings of default from the advocates of endless spending in and around the Beltway. It can't be said often enough: default on the national debt isn't going to happen. In fact, it's all but impossible.

With Paul Ryan still sitting squarely on the fence about whether or not he will run for Speaker of the House, the Republican leadership elections still remain largely up in the air. There has so far been a troubling inability of the conference to identify a suitable candidate who embodies the values that are important to an open congressional process, and who could garner enough support to actually win the election.

As one of our more than 6.9 million FreedomWorks activists nationwide, I urge you to contact your representative today and ask him or her to support Representative Tom McClintock’s Default Prevention Act, H.R. 692. This simple, common-sense piece of legislation would remove any possibility of defaulting on our national debt in the event that we reach our statutory debt limit.

The ever-shifting horizon on when the federal government is scheduled to reach its borrowing limit has most recently been set at November 3rd, just days after John Boehner is scheduled to resign his office. What this means is that no new leadership will save us from yet another increase in the debt ceiling, although there will always be a principled few who will want to resist.

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew is reporting that Congress only have until November 5th before the federal government hits its borrowing limit, an earlier date than most analysts were predicting. This can be expected to prompt the perennial debate about the nation’s debt and what, if anything, can be done about it.

In a press conference today, Speaker John Boehner tried to sell himself as a true conservative, touting his supposed reforms and lamenting that there was only so much he could do with a Democratic president in the White House. Oh, cool. So if we get a Republican in, Boehner will suddenly turn around and be super-conservative, right? Too bad history tells a different story.
